An unexpected thing happened today
I went for a run, first time since last year
In January, and what made me stray
From the fitness track then was simply sheer
Back pain caused by a run. I thought it clear
That running must be bad for you, so hey -
Why bother, eh? Heaton Park, disappear
And Lyme Park, too! They’re always so muddy!
Whenever it rains - almost every day!
Who needs it? Besides, this fitness delays
Those other ‘projects’ that I hold so dear
That’s fine, but these recent unhealthy ways
Are just speeding up physical decay
I loved my run; hope I run more this year
